A signal is transmitted down the ________ of a nerve cell.

Biology
1 answer:
Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

synapse

Explanation:

We know that nerve impulses, signals, must pass from cell to cell for a response to a given signal to occur. For this to happen, the presence of a specialized region called the synapse is required. Synapse is the structure that allows signals to be transmitted from one nerve cell to another.

Synapse can be defined as the region of proximity between the end of a neuron and a neighboring cell, where nerve impulses are transformed into chemical impulses due to the presence of chemical mediators.

Read the information for transcription and then answer the question. Protein Synthesis Explain the process of transcription.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Transcription is the first process that occurs in protein synthesis. It involves the use of the stored information in the DNA molecule to synthesize a mRNA molecule.

Transcription, which occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotes and cytoplasm of prokaryotes, is catalyzed by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. RNA polymerase binds to the double-stranded DNA and begins to unwind it (Initiation). This unwinding causes the nucleotide bases to be exposed in order for the RNA polymerase enzyme to read.

The enzyme reads the bases of the DNA and begins to synthesize RNA nucleotides using the complementary base pairing rule (Elongation) i.e. Adenine base paired with Uracil base (RNA), and Guanine paired with Cytosine etc.

The single-stranded mRNA is released at the end of the transcription process (termination). This is basically what occurs in transcription.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Just trust me.  

it's not A because there's no such thing as favorable traits whenever it comes to incesticide and for B the majority of Beatles and future generations will also die that's only to the ones that died but that can not happen, which means that D is the one that will be the correct answer because if one lives, then the rest of the generations live due to immunity in the generation that started it.
